Recent respective form guides

Newport County need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Exiles have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Tamworth's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Lambs's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Newport County are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 11 points from their 15 games thus far.

Tamworth's 22 points from 14 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Exiles at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Lambs come away with an easy victory. Away win
